day we'll look at how both candidates are trying to move business mind to voters. and it's not exactly a new face, but a new look, one of the world's oldest currencies. hello, welcome to the show. i'm seeing busy in berlin. the european union has greeted the new owner of twitter with a shot across across the bow, the head of internet regulation theory, baton tweeting that in europe. the bird will fly by our rules. that is self response. the line must suite on completing his acquisition of twitter. the bird is freed, that the eccentric billionaires purchase of one of the world's largest social media sites has stirred passions. as well as questions about his actual business strategy . the twitter drama may be far from over. on friday, ellen musk tweeted the bird is freed. that tweet is open to interpretation. i believe that e e. lon musk. buying twitter and owning twitter will begin to twitter. i've seen

obviously people commenting whether they're going to continue using it or not, but i haven't really thought about it to be honest. i suppose all, you know, see what, what pens, wiley, among elan mosques, 1st moves a change at the top. yo pirate agrawal and c, f o. net. siegel are being shown the door according to some reports. and that may just be the beginning and wants to build the super ascii wants to add payments. he wants to do more video. he maybe wants to make it like a protocol. he wants say verify users. i mean, he wants to do all these big bang for the same time. he wants to cut 75 percent of all the people that currently work there. i don't think. yeah. the crystal ball honest it's, it's still very, very shiny. right? i really don't. i don't know where we're going to be a 6 months from now. i think there is a chance that that one of the 1st things he'd like to do is bring back everybody that was band are being met, everybody that was controversial. certainly that's part of his ammo. and,

and that could happen with or without, you know, on musk things change people's opinions, change. all sorts of things happen. whether that's part of policy or not, remains to be seen. will band controversial figures like con, you west and donald trump return to twitter. now that a deal is done, many will be asking just what mosques reference to freeing the bird really means. we should note that must later said that he was just kidding about the claim that he's gonna fire 75 percent or twitter workers. while escondido is with the berlin based collective n g o tacro, tactical tech, excuse me. he joins me for more a while. good to have you on the show. muska says has said that he wants longer tweets and to rely less on advertising. those are some of the concrete ideas he's come out with so far at least made public. what do you make of his plans from how you understand them? well, the, the, you know, the social media companies have presented an opportunity that has effectively been

effectively being used by people who have interest. so the main idea is that social media companies are not very accountable for the content that they have by government. there's no structure in place. and this, i think in most found this a great opportunity where it's a platform where he gets all the publicity he needs and allows for the ideas that he is a proponent of. and it's just by buying it than he gets this platform. the main issue here is that, how does he keep twitter relevant while still suddenly changing the conversation? and we've seen historically that these platforms have had a problem with which direction they're going. it's not very easy to moderate these platforms. and so that power of swaying at one way or another in his hands and gives him a lot of potential. how he does it is something we'll still see. but we can't

imagine to see that this idea of freedom of speech is real. everyone has their own idea of what free speech is and he's going to steer towards that direction. now must have said that he wants to make this kind of town square, that's what he wants, which, where he wants to loosen to make it easier to debate. at the same time, he wants it to be profitable. that is accessible to a lot of people do those 2 things work this idea of opening it up, making it easier to sort of just to say what you want bringing back the trumps and other very controversial figures who often have misleading statements. does that work with making it profitable as well? he's also taken on a lot of debt. we should mention. yeah, this is a real question, right? i open for who that's, that's the, that's the real question. the center of it. it, he opens it to a group of i think the idea is it's clear that his direction is towards a group of people who think in a certain way and that is not really openness. what we have to see is how much he,

um, he clamped down on the other direction that he doesn't like under what guys we understand that freedom of expression is a way to support certain ideas. but it's also other, other excuses are there to are other voices. so i don't think they're very compatible. exactly. but they're all banners and rhetoric that might be used to give an appearance of some kind of freedom and the same time profit off. but while we've been talking a lot about twitter in the past few years, probably because of trump, i would imagine and then mosque as well. they're both very prominent there. are we overestimating its relevance? or is it still a very relevant platform when we look at its reach, we look at the people who are using it. oh, there. i think there, there might be a little bit of a generational divide in and the kind of quality of people who are using it. it's

been a, it's, it's the main platform for news. but it's not you. so it's quite influential when journalists want to spread their news when they want kind of very, very quick pace reporting. so in that sense, it's really powerful and effective, but it's not the platform where everyone is at the moment, especially younger people need. they are going a little bit more to instagram and so forth, but there is a power there. if you have the same rather than people who are, who are, you know, the spring is texting instantly news than the power comes from there. and he has to maintain that in order to create the effect that he wants later on feature, all right, while as condo with tackle tack, thank you so much. thank you. let's go now to some of the other global business stories making headlines. the european union has agreed to ban the sale of new vehicles with combustion engines from 2035
